The long awaited WIS mea culpa...updates coming... Topic

WIS just posted this. In other words, yeah, they didn't care about WIS for the past year.

Dear WhatIfSports Members,

We’re sure you’ve noticed the lack of updates to our games, the slip in our customer support and the decrease in our participation in the forums, developer chats and elsewhere over the past 12 – 18 months.That’s all about to change!

Building these games required the majority of our resources.As a result, our usual time, effort and dedication to WhatIfSports and each of you suffered.

Recently, our staff has doubled in size (and continues to grow) in order to continue our FOX game development while also returning the focus and attention our WhatIfSports games and community deserve.

In the very near future, everyone can expect to see a return to the service and product updates you experienced in the past. For the long-time WIS developers such as myself (and seble, norbert, mwelch, redhawk_514, mmustain & patrickm), this is very important.

Initially, we’ll be putting together updates for Gridiron Dynasty, Hoops Dynasty & Hardball Dynasty.We’ll be working with all of you in the forums and through site surveys & developer chats in order to focus on the game features most deserving of improvements and/or additions.

We have other updates and initiatives planned:

We have a significant SimLeague Baseball re-design that has already been fully flushed out and mocked up.It will consist of major user interface advances, feature additions and will put us in position to improve our progressive league features in future updates. And, it will allow us to advance our other SimLeague products in a similar fashion with more consistent features.

New & improved SimLeagues LIVE baseball application

New Dynasty games

Mobile extensions

Improved and expanded predictions

For those of you that follow fantasy football, the first game of the season was last night.Once the first two weeks of the fantasy football season are behind us, we will embark on the return to WhatIfSports development and the high level of customer service and interaction our community deserves.

As a token of our appreciation for the loyalty you have all shown, we have provided each of you that has paid to play one of our games over the past 12 months a $10 site credit to be used anytime over the next 12 months.

2 ways of approaching life, arssanguinus. Some people have a habit of being negative, even in the face of positive information. Not saying they can't change such a habit, and not saying I don't have this tendency at times. But I do think such negativity almost never helps any situation.

Posted by ethan66 on 9/9/2011 11:40:00 AM (view original):It may be futile - maybe not - but I'm going to post some stuff in the Suggestions forum. Maybe someone will actually start reading it for a change.

Blackdog, $10 is nice but I'd rather have $5000 added to my recruiting budget :P

The issue with the suggestions forum is that it gets no traffic from users. So there isn't likely to be much discussion on things posted there (if any).

I like HD the way it is. I don't really care that they haven't been rolling out update after update. Are there things that should change? Absolutely. And I hope positive changes will be made out of this. But even if there aren't, I like the game as is, and I have 10 bucks I didn't have before.
